Artistry Summits
NEW! Artistry Summits November 21 and December 12!
Our brand new initiative, the Artistry Summit, provides an opportunity to work with distinguished faculty from around the globe. Guided by our renowned artist teachers, you will grow as a harpist and enjoy an inspiring musical journey on a digital platform. A virtual "boot-camp" for musicians, these once-a-month Summits (the fall Summits in October and November are FREE for AYHE harpists) give you an opportunity for concentrated artistic development. Registration is open to harp students of all ages and levels!
Upon registration for American Youth Harp Ensemble, all harpists are eligible to participate in the two fall Artistry Summits for no additional cost (close to two hundred dollars in savings!). However, if harpists opt to sign up for an additional private lesson opportunity during the Summit there will be an additional private lesson fee. More information on the Spring Summits will be coming.
